Diagnosed at age five with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, Barb shares her experiences from losing her ability to walk to regaining freedom to move about by using a wheelchair. Not knowing what the future held, she decided to pursue her interest in art. Barb speaks of the influence of a childhood friend and the decision to go away to college. Upon receiving a BFA, life took a turn for the worse. Within a period of seven months, a machine was breathing for her and she lost two very important people in her life. She tells what life is like being ventilator dependent, about living life as an artist, about being dependent on her nurses and caregivers, and relying on her strong faith in God.
